Petra's Restaurant

We love Petra's. It is the perfect place to celebrate anniversary's birthdays, etc. TJ and his staff will treat you like family. The food is always freshly we prepared and extremely delicious.

I had a pleasant experience at Petra. The waiter/bartender (possibly owner?) was so sweet and welcoming. She was super attentive. I had the salmon over spinach and added mushrooms. When I tell you that was top 5 best salmon I've ever eaten. It was so flavorful and moist. It was PERFECTLY seasoned and cooked. The spinach, veggies, and potatoes were an excellent touch of freshness. I will definitely be back for the salmon. The Caesar salad was also divine. In fact, I think it's the best Caesar salad I've tried. The dressing is slightly more tart than other Caesar dressings; however, it's tart in the most palate-pleasing way. The cheese was abundant and fresh, and the romaine was crisp and fresh. I did not try the redfish but our family friend was satisfied. Finally, the warm rolls with that butter are enough to start a fight over for the last roll. I ate 3 at the table, which I never do. They're so light, buttery, and are served warm. The butter is possibly a whipped garlic butter concoction. I had to stop eating them. Overall, I really enjoyed our dinner. Do not be thrown off by the dated decor--some of the best food comes from places like these. My only hangup is the imported seafood. I'm not a big fan of imported seafood, in general. However, I do not think that takes away from the restaurant if you're looking for a great meal. And I'm mindful that domestic costs are often (and are growing) financially infeasible for some restaurants. Great spot!!

Each time I go to Petras, I receive excellent service, friendly staff, a clean environment, and absolutely delicious food. I have not had a bad meal there.

I had the Pasta. St John and it was fabulous! The cream sauce was light. Great combination of chicken, sausage, mushrooms, and bell peppers. This place has a quaint and elegant dining room and super friendly staff!

One of Laplace's oldest restaurants with style. There is a full service bar and a professional wait staff. Plus, there are huge big screen TVs for watching sports.I Enjoyed my time there.

My Sever was nice and the food was nicely put but I ended up getting sick from all the grease I consumed.

Wait staff was very attentive I ordered the calamari as an appetizer it came really fast. And was hot and tasted perfect . I got the 14 ounce sirloin medium rare had garlic butter on top and a baked potato and it came with vegetables I didn't want to eat. But lawd let me tell you steak was perfect baked tater well you can't mess it up it was perfect now let's got to the vegetables it was green beans squash carrots and zucchini. I don't like zucchini but I eat every bit of it the vegetables we very good all in all my experience at this restaurant was absolutely flawless I left full and happy. I couldn't of asked for a better meal. Honestly there is nothing to complain about. If I had it to do all over again I'd get the same thing and eat every bit of it.

Walking in location has an old feel to it...could use updating. Immediately greeted and seated. Food was really good for Laplace. My husband got Chicken Parm and found the sauce to be watery, could have been from the pasta not being strained long enough. I enjoyed the calamari and the shrimp Alfredo. Portion sizes are very nice! Food has potential to be awesome. Tables would be nice with some fresh flowers on the table and better lighting.Will come back and try lunch.

It's my daughter's 14th birthday, so we decided going to a family oriented restaurant in our neighborhood. We loved food, delicious and the waitress was sweet; however, the problem was the owner. He greeted to every table each time walked by but not us. We felt really unwelcome even though this was my second time have been here personally. The humiliation really throw me off more than anything. I make sure next time I won't take my family going there anymore!

Really great service and food. Atmosphere is a bit dated so some may see this as a miss, I think it adds to the charm.
